Now that we’re spending more time in Massachusetts during the winter months, I’m really trying to embrace winter more. See, I grew up in the white stuff, and absolutely loved it; I used to get out of the house and really live it up. I skied and snowboarded all of the time, and when I wasn’t doing that, my friends and I were hiking or sled riding down our neighborhood streets. I’ll be the first to admit that over the last couple of years, I’ve lost this side of my youth, something that I swore would never happen. But, you know what, I’m ready to take it back!
That’s why I’m so pumped about this week’s Pinterest chat with Eddie Bauer, the legendary outdoor clothing company, and AFAR Magazine. We’re going to be chatting all about mountain adventures, sharing tips, travel ideas, and a whole bunch of inspiration to help fuel your winter wanderlust. And to get you ready for your next mountain getaway, Eddie Bauer will be giving away three $100 gift cards to three lucky participants at this week’s chat!
So, please join us and AFAR this Wednesday (11/5) at 7 p.m. (EST) on the Pin-Up Live! board to have a real time chat about about all the fun you can have in the mountains! You can expect a lot of Pinspiration, tips, and stories being traded on Wednesday night, and we would love to hear your tales too!

How Do I Join In?
It’s simple to participate in the chat, just head on over to our Pinterest board, Pin-Up Live!, which is dedicated to the event. We will be pinning inspirational travel pins to the board, each one containing a question related to preparing for your next adventure. All you have to do is join in on the conversation!
We will pin a question pin every few minutes and if you read or see something you like, we’d love to hear from you in the comment section of the pin. This is a way for all of us to share our travel stories in a visual way. During the chat we’ll be checking out your boards and repinning some of your items to the board as well.
The theme for this week’s chat is going to be Mountain Adventures! Feel free to chat away–we want to hear your travel questions, tips and travel tales! Important: Pinterest does not use hashtags (#) in a real-time way, so in order to follow the conversation, you’ll have to be on the Pin-Up Live! board at the dedicated time (Wed 11/4/14 at 7 p.m. EST) to participate. You will also need to refresh that page every couple of minutes to see the updated comments and new pins. Remember to refresh!
How can I win one of the Eddie Bauer gift cards?
Simply join in the discussion! Within 24 hours after Pin-Up Live! ends, we will announce the winners–so just by joining in the fun, you’ll automatically have a chance to win this awesome gift from Eddie Bauer.
Why Pinterest?
Ever since joining Pinterest in 2012, we’ve been hooked. And a lot of it has to do with the inspired ideas and photos we encounter on a daily basis.There’s a lot of incredible people on Pinterest, but no real good way to have a conversation–until now.
As avid travelers, we love sharing our travel tales and we believe the best tips and advice comes from your connections–family, friends and social networks. Pin-Up Live! brings the conversation to Pinterest, making it easy for people to connect and share stories, tips and beautiful images, while developing a comprehensive travel resource board that will continue to grow more robust as new topics are discussed.
Pin-Up Live! is the original real time chat held on Pinterest and we plan to keep bringing you unique travel themes to stoke your inspiration and wanderlust, so please let us know if you have anything in mind you’d love to chat about. Remember, joining in the conversation is easy, just come to our Pin-Up Live! Board on Wednesday (11/05/14) at 7 p.m. (EST). And remember, if you’d like to be entered in this week’s drawing, all you have to do is comment on one of the question pins during the session.
